Friendly warning.
Just a reminder to all of the CF members, particularly who have done mods. Please be careful with dropping temps. A.) our cars love this cool air & 2.) our tires not so much. Temp. dipped just below 50 tonight where I live which is low enough to notice the increase preformance, but at the end of the night after the car had been sitting & tires got to OA temp. a 4500rpm 1st 2nd shift got me way outta shape. This happens every year if your not paying attention & you can get yourself into trouble. Be careful & remember the effects the cool temps have on our cars. Be safe!

Funny u shud ask?
All's well, thanks for askin', I trust the same for you, & the car's runnin' better than ever after I completely re-did the SpinFAST mod which let loose. Went back w/ sheet metal patch & JB Weld (slow dry) after talkin to Joe G. & would recommend to everybody. There's no way mine will leak there again.
To "it's fun", yes it is, but remember horseplay is always fun 'til someone puts an eye out! Lol. In our case, it's fun until you put your car into a wall, tree, frontyard, etc.
Just givin' everybody a friendly reminder, so someone may spare themselves the agony of finding out the hard way. I was going deadnuts straight, so those tryin to make on/off ramps more exciting beware!
